Digital to slides...

[Mrvile]

I have a bunch of digital images I need made into slides. My local camera store does this but they require me to get prints first which will cost a fortune. Does anyone know of any good sites that will do this with good quality to price ratio?

Thanks!

No, like...slide slides. Like slides you would put in a projector. Film slides.

This is what computers are doing to people these days :disgust:

Yeah I did find quite a lot of sites through a google search but there are so many and I don't know how "well" they actually do the process...should I just take a risk and try the cheapest one I can find?

Honestly...most of the colleges I'm applying to accept my portfolio in CD form but two of them want slides and nothing else. They just have to make everything so damn complicated...

Hmmm! If you have the time, I suggest you try only a few slides through one or two of the services. I remember having 35 mm color slides made from computer files about 15 years ago. The originals were just graphs and charts for a technical presentation in full color. The service made them at a resolution of 3000 lines - that is, I believe, 3000 lines to cover the top-to-bottom space. On a slide that's about one inch, and 3000 lines per inch sounds great. But put that into a projector and blow it up to 5 feet high (make that 60 inches), and we're looking at 50 lines per inch. My recollection is that the slides looked just fine for the presentation, but I was not trying to reproduce fine detail and subtle shading. And people then were not used to seeing the fine video we expect now.

Your last post mentions "my portfolio", making me think you are trying to show detailed artwork of some kind. That's why I suggest you check with a few slides whether the services can do what you need. They would have to provide high resolution (eg 3000 lines vertically or more) plus highly detailed color reproduction (at least 24-bit color).
